The temple gets a bunch of volunteer donors together.Donors get assigned spaces to give away free food, drink and snacks to all visitors.Hot soups, noodles (cooked or fried), bags of candy and chips, or cookies. A large variety of juices and pops.
There were a few pay as you go games available. I will need some dart throwing practice. Especially memorable to me was many people welcomed me

Facebook: Sakon Nakhon Farang (Falang)
There are 30 Sakon Nakhon related Facebook pages I follow and visit frequently, thanks to google translate.
This time I decided to open all westerner pages from 'People You May Know.'
Some people I've met, many I have not met. Many had mutual friends. It was interesting to quickly scroll through their posts.
Always wondered how many foreigners live in the area. Seems plenty

The air we breathe
Smog and dust has been on the increase since mid February,
I'd suspect this will continue until there is some heavy rain.
Humidity is on the increase, which seems to make the smog more noticeable.
*** May require more frequent air conditioner maintenance

"The Meteorological Department predicts that temperatures will reach 44-50 degrees Celsius from the end of February"
According to a local appliance dealer Sakon Nakhon is scorching hot. . . . . air conditioner sales increased by almost 50%.
The article appeared on line at www.matichon. Anticipation is that things are going to get hotter than usual. Electricity bills will climb most likely to new highs in April.
I've tried misting fans, swamp coolers and wet towels over fans with limited effect.
If you need to cool down quick, take a shower, get wet and stand in front of a fan.
I've had best results keeping the electric bills low by keeping the air con at 29 and using fans

Kratom Sales near Grade Schools busted
The article describes a person selling Kratom water for 100 baht per bottle, or 30 baht per glass.
My understanding possession for medical reasons is legal, however sales in food or drink are not.

Football Spending
I had put out the word that I would no lonher sponsor football teams. It's not just about the money, but how it is spent.
I was asked to help out with Sunday's participation fee. So I did.
Threw bundles of 100 baht notes (US$3) in the air, the quickest players got the money. Also donated some lunch money.
The team won three games, lost the final game in a shootout.
I never believed a shootout should determine the winners, it's just plain luck.
